ADVISORY SERVICES

We believe in a true partnership with our clients. We are an extension of your team and work for you.

​

Client Experience & Employee Engagement

We have developed a process that, working with our clients, enables us to tackle two important challenges for any professional service firm: your clients’ level of satisfaction and your management team’s level of engagement.  

Clients are your number one priority. Our approach is to work with you to develop a tailored discussion guide allowing us to have a “Client Experience Conversation”. This will provide insight into how your clients feel about their experience with your service team. We find that clients are interested in giving feedback over the phone which helps deliver a better outcome when they engage your company in the future. This process becomes an adjunct to your marketing efforts via Kurkowski & Company as an independent third party. We have seen that this approach will lead to new business opportunities for your company. 

We believe an e-survey approach to measuring engagement is fine for 80-90% of your people. For your key employees, a more personal approach is needed and adds much more value. Working with you, we create a tailored discussion guide to use with your most valued team members. We undertake an “Employee Experience Conversation” with these employees. People appreciate the one-on-one conversation with an independent third party and this process gives management important insights into “engagement” in a way that is much more personal than an electronic survey. 

 

Compensation Systems & Benefits

As an innovative provider of industry-leading employee compensation solutions we are dedicated to supporting employers’ ability to attract, retain and protect their talent.

 

Our services include complete compensation & benefits analysis. We can help reevaluate and modify your compensation systems. Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and mid-size companies can gain a market advantage from a comprehensive review of how they communicate compensation and benefits to their employees.

 

We always seek what’s best for our clients. A typical review of a compensation plan includes an evalution of your cash compensation model as well as the development of a benefits strategy. We work closely with you in order to gain an in-depth understanding of your business goals and challenges to help design a strategic plan that accurately reflects your compensation philosophy.

 

With this collaborative approach, we deliver innovative compensation solutions that suit your needs and that of your employees. A well designed employee compensation plan will not only attract and retain valuable employees in a competitive marketplace, but provide a return on investment in your most important asset: people. In order to maximize the impact of your compensation system it is critical that companies effectively communicate the full value of each employee's compensation package including cash compensation and all benefits.

​

Governance

We consult with private businesses as to their governance model. As a private company expands ownership by selling shares to key employees or outside third parties, the ability to point to sound governance practices will give comfort to these investors. We are available to serve on boards or advisory boards and to help you create such boards. 

​

Mergers & Acquistitions

We have undertaken projects to perform all aspects of financial due dilligence in connetion with possible PE investments in our clients' businesses. This has resulted in obtaining funding in connection with the raising of growth capital as well as founder transitions.
